    Try kubuntu. It uses (the imo much nicer) KDE instead of gnome.

      I’m planning to switch away from Kubuntu after using it for at least a decade on my desktop and laptop machines. The whole snap thing gets annoying. Yes, I can override it, I know, but…effort. I’m planning to just go to Debian.

        Just get KDE from the horse’s mouth then and use KDE Neon. Ubuntu packages, but snapd isn’t even installed by default. It also ships with rolling release stable KDE, but isn’t rolling release otherwise.

      Thanks for the suggestion.
      I have only ever tried Gnome (and a quick test of ElementaryOS and ZorinOS), but maybe it is time to try another DE.

        The best thing about this…

        You can do Ubuntu AND still install KDE

          Yeah exactly.

          Not too fond of snap, but am trying KDE Neon now, as I’m a “experienced rookie”, but still have never tried any other DE than Gnome…

              Having used KDE Neon for 10 minutes, I’ve had no issues with the trackpad…

              If this is Ubuntu or KDE, dunno, but liking it so far .
